Freya Halloran — iOS Engineer

Manchester

iOS engineer with seven years in Swift, five of them on regulated banking apps. Rewrote a payments journey so it passed a full external accessibility audit, lifting the store rating from 3.4 to 4.6 over two releases. Returned from an eleven-month parental break in 2023 and now owns that journey end to end.

Experience

iOS Engineer, Quillon Bank · May 2023 – present

Payments and card controls in an app with 1.4 million monthly users.

  • Rewrote the payments journey in SwiftUI against WCAG 2.2, clearing all 31 findings from an external audit and lifting the store rating from 3.4 to 4.6.
  • Cut cold start from 2.9s to 900ms by deferring feature-flag fetches and removing 46 of the 71 objects built at launch.
  • Took crash-free sessions from 99.1% to 99.87% by rebuilding the offline request queue that had been silently dropping transfers.
  • Organised snapshot tests across the 24 card-control screens, which caught an iOS 17 layout break a fortnight before release.

Parental leave, Career break · June 2022 – April 2023

  • Maintained an open-source Swift keychain package throughout, shipping four releases including the move to structured concurrency.
  • Answered 130 issues across two Swift packages during the break, holding median first response under three days.

iOS Developer (nine-month contract), Ardwick Digital · September 2021 – May 2022

Fixed-term contract on a grocery retailer ordering app.

  • Delivered the substitutions screen the retailer had descoped twice, cutting order cancellations by 23% in its first month.
  • Migrated 60 view controllers from Objective-C to Swift without a feature freeze, retiring the last of a 2014 codebase.

iOS Developer, Pelham Mobile · July 2018 – August 2021

  • Built the offline reading mode for a magazine app with 240,000 subscribers, taking average session length up 31%.
  • Replaced hand-rolled networking with URLSession and Codable, removing 4,300 lines and a recurring class of decoding crashes.

Projects

  • Keyring — An open-source Swift wrapper over the iOS keychain, with async APIs and biometric gating.

Education

  • BSc Computer Science · University of Leeds · September 2015 – June 2018

Skills

  • Languages: Swift, Objective-C, Kotlin, TypeScript
  • Platform: SwiftUI, UIKit, Swift Concurrency, Combine, Core Data, XCTest

Why this iOS Engineer résumé works

  • Accessibility is shown as an outcome: all 31 findings from an external audit cleared against WCAG 2.2, and the store rating raised from 3.4 to 4.6 at Quillon Bank.
  • Performance and reliability are measured: cold start from 2.9s to 900ms and crash-free sessions from 99.1% to 99.87%, numbers an iOS lead checks first.
  • The eleven-month career break is listed with what continued during it: four releases of an open-source Swift package and 130 issues answered.
  • The Keyring project, with 2,100 stars and use in three published banking apps, shows security-sensitive Swift work outside the day job.

iOS Engineer résumé: common questions

How long should an iOS engineer CV be in the UK?

One or two pages. One page is enough with seven years if each role has three or four measured bullets. Leave out a photo and personal details beyond contact information.

How should an iOS CV explain a career break?

Give it a dated entry with a one-line reason and anything you kept up, such as open-source releases or courses. A short, plain entry avoids questions about the gap.

What skills should an iOS engineer resume list?

Swift and Objective-C, SwiftUI and UIKit, concurrency, persistence such as Core Data, testing tools such as XCTest, and practices like accessibility and release management.
